About Chandler Innovations
We are a community designed for entrepreneurs. We specialize in helping engineers, inventors, entrepreneurs, and other people with big ideas who know how to create, but not necessarily how to build a profitable, scalable business around it. We help them move from idea to investment (and beyond) while challenging them to understand what their product is, who it is for, and how to build their company in a way that works for them.
Our clients prepare for their next steps, including investment so that they can bring their products and services to the world

Our Management Partner - Moonshot at NACET
In late 2015, Chandler Innovations partnered with Moonshot at NACET to build Chandler Innovations, a city-wide business incubation and entrepreneurial development program.
Moonshot at NACET—a 20-year-old entrepreneurship incubator based in Flagstaff, Arizona—helps entrepreneurs build successful businesses and brands and helps cities looking to create entrepreneurship eco-systems. Moonshot at NACET solicits pitches from those ambitious, disruptive innovators whose plans hold commercial possibilities. If accepted, these entrepreneurs and their ideas are put through an educational track geared at developing a minimum viable product or an investment-ready business by the program’s end. We help provide assistance to the risk takers and change makers in the West. |
Our Facility Partner - ASU Innovation Center
Thank you to our facility partner, ASU, for their support of this program!
The ASU Chandler Innovation Center (ACIC) is an innovative partnership between the City of Chandler and Arizona State University established in November of 2013. Located in the heart of Downtown Chandler, ACIC pairs startup-centric programming and resources with a one-of-a-kind workspace. ACIC houses Hub249, a membership-based, do-it-yourself makerspace with tools, equipment, design software, and classes available to the greater community as well as ASU faculty, staff, and students. ASU offers a free 30-day trial membership that gives access to Hub249 upon completion of required safety training. ACIC offers a variety of classrooms, conference rooms, and ample collaborative workspace designed to foster a creative environment for innovative, entrepreneurial, community-based programming and projects, available through reservation. |
